The Anakin Skywalker character has several versions in LEGO Star Wars themed sets. Obe Wan Kenobe, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker all have several versions, some rarer than others.

Anyway, back to Anakin. This one is a, I think, a combination of the mini figure from some of the Episode III sets. He has his black hand from when it cut off in Episode II fighting Count Dooku, but I’ve got a feeling the head pictured here is from the Darth Vader Transformation kit as his face is a little more scarred than it should be for this version.

The Harry Potter themed sets have a good range of minifigs with them. To be honest, I’m not a big Harry Potter fan, and have only seen about 80% of the first film, but the mini figures are pretty cool, and have some good features that could be used for building custom figures.

This is one of my Harry Potter figures, even the simple addition of the more oversized hair than normal really helps make this figure look right.

I’ll be picking up a few more Harry Potter characters as and when I can, but Star Wars figures are the ones I’m going after more at the moment.

Right, after my slight error with what I thought could have been an Indiana Jones minifig, there’s no denying who this is. It’s another minifig that makes use of some great headgear to really make the character look right.

It’s Bib Fortuna, Jabba’s messenger from Star Wars VI Return of the Jedi.

Bit of an ugly figure really, but one that stands out from the rest as something a little bit different.

This post over at Fresh Pics shows you that with a little creativity and a bit of mixing and matching with your existing LEGO mini figures, you can create anyone!

Creating these type of characters was one of the reasons I got back into LEGO, but up to now I haven’t created a great deal that is non standard. One day….. one day….

Now I’m not too sure which set this minifig comes from or if it indeed is an Indiana Jones LEGO mini figure, but it does look like him. It could be a hybrid I’ve picked up from ebay along the way, as it could possibly be a Han Solo body… maybe, although I’m not so sure.

Anyway, I think it’s a great minifig.

UPDATE: Well as you can see by Bob’s comment below, I was a little bit wrong in assuming this was Indiana Jones, and it appears to be a woman’s body too. I think those LEGO hormone pills have been a bit misused here

Thanks Bob, glad you are checking up on me.

Here is another of my favourite LEGO Star Wars minifigs, although it’s a character that doesn’t feature a great deal in the films. It’s the Emperor’s Royal Guard and like the Darth Vador mini figure, it’s the head gear that makes it so good in my opinion.

The red stands out really well too, which is great for images and the future desktops I’ll be adding soon.

Obe Wan is one of the star wars mini figures that has several different versions. If you go through from Episode I - The Phantom Menace, you get the young Obe Wan, then in Episode II - Attack of the Clones you get this version, with beard. There are also hooded versions too which I also have in my collection so pictures will appear soon of them.

While we are on the subject of Boba Fett, here is the young Boba mini figure. Notice the shorter legs to make him shorter than a standard minifig, as he’s a kid. The legs don’t move though like the normal legs on a lego figure.

This, again, was one of the rarer figures a while ago, like Jango Fett, but seems to be a little more common recently.

This was one of the first figures that rekindled my interest in LEGO and started off my obsession fascination with LEGO minifigs and was one of the first in my collection of around 200 figures (at the time of writing).

This is one of those figures that has magnets in it’s legs and the body is fixed together. The magnet versions were produced as a collectable and a ‘fridge magnet’. Purists will probably not like these versions, but they look exactly the same so it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The only slight problem is when you stand a few with magnets close together to display them. Let’s say they get a bit attached to each other if you get them too close. If you have lots of figures on display like I have then this can cause a bit of a domino effect. Funny the first time, amusing the second, but down right annoying the third, fourth and fifth time!

Jango Fett is one of the rarer minifigs as it doesn’t appear in many sets. It was only a short while ago that the Jango Fett figure was fetching up to £40 on ebay for just the figure. I think either more sets are available now, or LEGO might be producing more of the figures as prices have come down a fair bit, although it still fetches a good price for what is just a small piece of plastic.
